Breaking news! A lost world has been discovered, and clues leading to its secret entrance have been disseminated all around the world. Your goal? Find them! Driven only by your courage, you decide to follow in the footsteps of those first explorers and launch a worldwide expedition, but you are not the only one on this quest...
In Lost Explorers, each player starts with five figures on their research team: two leaders to track your discoveries, and three members to gain equipment and go on expeditions. On your turn, you can place members on one or both equipment areas to gain tokens; placing one figure means you retrieve the first token from the pile, two figures the second token, etc. The visible side of a token represents a vehicle- a train (red), a car (yellow), a boat (blue), or an airship (green)- while the hidden side depicts two or three locations on the world map. For each token you take, choose whether to keep the vehicle side face up or flip it over to reveal the mission side of the token. Once you choose, the token is locked, and you place it in front of you with your other vehicle and mission tokens.
Alternatively, instead of collecting equipment you can place members on map locations. Each location shows 2-3 vehicle tiles, and you must have all depicted tiles in front of you to place a member on a location. Each time you place a member, choose one of the vehicle tokens used, then place it in the discard pile next to the box. (If you travel to the location of another player's member, you give them the discarded token instead.)
After you either collect vehicle/mission tokens or send members on expeditions, you can complete one or more missions if you have a member on each of the 2-3 locations depicted on that mission. For each mission, remove one of your members just used from the board, then advance the appropriate leader on the discovery track for the color of the mission and the number of members used. (Each game, 2-4 locations are marked as "validated," and a validated location is always completed automatically for missions, but you score no points for it.) If you advanced your leader who was behind on the discovery track, take a vehicle token from the discard pile and add it to your collection.
When one of your leaders reaches a "clue" spot on a discovery track, you collect a clue token. If you collect four clue tokens first, you win! Alternatively, the game ends once all the vehicle tokens have been claimed, at which point the player who has advanced the farthest on the discovery track with their slower leader wins.

This 2 to 4 player game, beautifully illustrated by Christine Deschamps, has been ported to our platform by some of our best developers, darhf and lordalx, who did excellent work. Of course, nothing would have been possible without the help of the game designer, Cédric Chaboussit, and the publisher team from Ludonaute. Thanks to them, you can now play the game on BGA.
That's it for the Weekly Wednesday Release!
Enjoy!
Lost Explorers:404錯誤,找不到這世界
新聞快報!
發現了一個失落的世界,而且通往它秘密入口的線索已經傳播到了世界各地。
你的目標是什麼?
就是找到他們!
只憑藉您的勇氣,決定追隨第一批探險家的腳步,展開全球探險,但您並不是唯一一個進行這項任務的人……
在失落的探險家中,每位玩家的研究團隊中都有五名人物:兩名領導者負責追踪您所發現的,和三名成員獲得裝備並進行探險。
輪到您時,可將成員放置在一個或兩個設備區域以獲取代幣;放置一個數字意味著您從堆中取回第一個標記,兩個數字取第二個標記,依此類推。
代幣的可見面代表載具——火車(紅色)、汽車(黃色)、船(藍色)或飛艇(綠色)——而隱藏面則描繪出世界地圖上的兩或三個地點。
您拿走的每個代幣,將選擇是將載具面朝上還是將其翻至任務面。
選定後,代幣將被鎖定,您可將其與其他載具和任務代幣一起放在面前。
或者,您可將成員放置在地圖上,而非收集裝備。
每個地點顯示 2-3 個載具圖塊,您必須將所有描繪的圖塊放在面前,才能將成員放置在某個地點。
每次放置成員時,選擇一個用過的載具代幣,然後將其放置在盒子旁邊的棄牌堆中。
(如果您前往其他玩家成員所在的地點,則改為將丟棄的代幣交給他們。)
在您收集載具/任務代幣或派遣成員進行遠征後,若您在該任務描述的 2-3 個地點中的每個地點都有成員,則可完成一個或多個任務。
對於每個任務,從圖板中移除您剛使用的一名成員,然後根據任務的顏色和使用的成員數量,在探索記錄中推進對應的領袖。
(每場比賽會有 2-4 個地點被標記為“已驗證”,且已驗證的地點將會自動完成任務,但您不會因此得分。)如果您推進在探索紀錄中落後的領袖,請從棄牌堆中取出載具代幣並將其添加到您的手牌中。
當您的一位領袖到達探索紀錄的“線索”點時,您會收集到一個線索代幣。
如果你先收集四個線索標記,你就贏了!
或者,一旦所有載具代幣都被領完,遊戲結束,此時在探索紀錄上前進最遠且領袖較慢的玩家獲勝。

這款 2 至 4 人遊戲由Christine Deschamps精美插圖,已由我們一部分最優秀的開發人員darhf和lordalx移植到我們的平台上,他們的工作非常出色。
當然,如果沒有遊戲設計師Cédric Chaboussit和 Ludonaute 發行商團隊的幫助,一切都不可能實現。
多虧了他們,您現在可以在 BGA 上玩此遊戲了。
這就是本周的每周三新遊戲發布!
